Of Names and Cookies

[RockyBeach]

a quick question...i see all these "cookies" on my hard drive called such names as gbush@webshots and gbush@yahoo.com..my question is this -- is my first initial/last name combination just how the cookie is stored on my hard drive, or is the cookie broadcasting my first initial and last name to the vendor and they, then, know my name.

any and all help would be appreciated.

It's probably whatever username you logged into windows under. And no, I have no idea if some websites capture that information, but if I were a betting man (and I'm not) I'd say yes.

Gee Rocky, are you the real G. Bush? George W., that is. Always suspected that he was a frustrated hobbyist. That's why he goes around bombing people.
